The firm is specialised in over 20 practice areas and has had an integrated structure since 2013.

The litigation and Arbitration department’s practice has a breadth of experience, in particular, commercial contracts, corporate disputes, mining, construction, automotive and public international law issues. We defend and promote the interests of our clients before the widest range of Belgian and foreign courts and tribunals. We assist clients with commercial arbitration under the ICC, UNCITRAL, OHADA and CEPINA rules, in investment disputes under the aegis of ICSID, as well as inter-State arbitration under the aegis of the Permanent Court of Arbitration
